Someone please tell me there is an as-yet unfound option to simply click on/off or shortcut or SOMETHING to let me easily swap between active artboards again. I've been trying to just deal with the change since google searches have turned up nothing useful, and I don't even know what I did in the first place to cause the change (I wouldn't put it past myself to fat-finger a shortcut without realizing it) I know it's only a few clicks, only a few seconds, but a) it adds up when I'm dealing with icon sets of 30+, and b) it's just really vexing to have to suddenly and without warning need to change my workflow. I can export for web without an extra step, easy! Now I need to take the time to first of all save over the wrong image when I save for web because I fall into careless habit-scripts, then back up, change tools, select the artboard tool, select the right artboard, and then save for web again (twice, usually, to re-save the first one I saved over). Just start working in a new artboard, and it's switched. But now for some reason the option has disappeared and I can only make it a color. Up until probably 3 weeks ago, I've been able to very easily switch the active artboard in Illustrator without needing to switch to the artboard tool. Hi, I used to have the ability to change my artboards to transparent in the Art Board Properties box, by clicking the 'Artboard background color' and changing to transparent. Use the pop-up menu to set the height and width of your new artboard. Double click the Artboard Tool tool from the left tool tray. Drag and drop the cursor across the workspace to create a new artboard. Either create a new Artboard and select Transparent under the Background Contents menu or, if you have an existing artboard, simply select it in the layers panel, open up the properties windows and change the background with the Artboard background color. Select the Artboard Tool tool from the left tool tray. I don't consider myself a novice by any stretch, but this is driving me NUTS. As of Photoshop CC 2015.5 you can now have artboards with transparent backgrounds. I've been using Illustrator CS6 for months and previous versions for years.
